Ingredients

1 Tablespoon plus 1 cup butter (no substitutions), softened, divided

1-1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans, toasted

1 to 1-1/2 cups chocolate chips (or part chocolate, part white)

2 cups packed brown sugar

1 cup light corn syrup

1/4 cup water

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Line a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan with foil. Butter the foil with one tablespoon of butter. Sprinkle with pecans and chips, set aside.

In a heavy saucepan, over medium heat, melt remaining 1 cup butter. Add brown sugar, corn syrup and water.

Cook and stir until mixture comes to a boil. Stir in milk.

Cook, stirring constantly, until a candy thermometer reads 248 (firm ball stage).

Remove from heat and mix in vanilla.

Pour into prepared pan, do not scrape saucepan.

Cool completely.

Turn out onto a cutting board and peel off the foil. Cut into approximately 1 inch squares. Yields about 2-1/2 pounds. Store in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.
